Symmetrical front-facing cinematic portrait of a powerful, mature fantasy mage emperor. He is wearing a dark teal tunic under a matching teal jacket. The jacket features intricate, elegant silver embroidery details running along the seams and collar. Over his dark teal fabric tunic, he wears heavy, ornate golden plate armor covering his chest and shoulders, with sharp, tiered pauldrons. He wears a majestic, avant-garde golden crown-helmet: the front forms a sharp, angular shape over his brow, while the top of the helmet elongates far backwards horizontally in a sleek, aerodynamic, wedge-shaped crest that is completely filled and closed, fully enclosing and solid, covering the entire back of his head. He is holding a large, ancient golden staff topped with a small stylized crafted, coiled golden serpent head with emerald eyes. Setting: a high-contrast, dramatic light filtering into a grand council chamber with stone pillars. Dark beard, strict and commanding expression, realistic textures, highly detailed fabrics, dark fantasy atmosphere, dramatic lighting, 8k resolution, photorealistic.
